Wax begonias (Semperflorens Begonias)

These are tough, ever-blooming herbaceous annuals and houseplants famous for their glossy leaves and continuous red blooms.
Red Begonias are vibrant, versatile plants celebrated for their show-stopping crimson blooms or dramatic, metallic-red leaves.
Whether you are planting them outdoors in the summer or keeping them as indoor foliage plants, they add a bold pop of color to any space.
They are prized for being low-maintenance, heat-tolerant, and naturally resistant to pests, deer, and rabbits.
Begonia semperflorens (commonly known as Wax Begonia) is technically a tender perennial.

However, its classification depends entirely on your local climate:
In frost-prone areas: Grown as a colorful annual, completing its life cycle in a single season.
In warm, frost-free climates (USDA Zones 8-11): Lives as an evergreen perennial, coming back year after year and even blooming continuously.
